Fruit Stripe gum

The New York Times reports that Fruit Stripe gum is being discontinued.

Did you know that Fruit Stripe gum had several animal mascots? From the Times:

Yipes the Zebra emerged as the dominant mascot, with every gum wrapper doubling as a Yipes temporary tattoo. The tattoos depicted Yipes in active poses, such as skateboarding, playing baseball or eating grass.
Yipes I hardly knew ye.
